Lab 7 Q1. Briefly; what is a myotube and how is it formed?
It is the precursor to a mature muscle fibre and it is formed from the differentiation (or fusion) of myoblasts.
Lab 7 Q2. What changes would I expect to see in the muscle fibre types in my legs if I:
a) Suffered a spinal cord injury
The slow muscle fibre types would begin to atrophy (degenerate)
b) Took up marathon running
Slow twitch muscle fibres increase in size and efficiency while the fast twitch muscle fibres will begin to slowly degenerate or become less efficient.
